i feel Bob Lawson deserves his own wikipedia page for the following reasons: 1) he WROTE the Kentucky rules of evidence 2) he WROTE the Kentucky rules of criminal procedure 3) he's been a faculty member for 44 years, including Dean twice for a total of 10 years 4) he's a Law School Hall of Fame member

having taught a large number of the bar in Kentucky, including all? of the Ky Supreme Court Justices, as well as writing the rules of evidence and crimpro, his influence on the general population is great, if not well known outside of the bar. In legal circles, his influence is well known, and his articles and research dealing with jail capacity/etc are also well respected.

All in all, I feel these reasons are enough to warrant Bob Lawson to have his own wikipedia entry.
